It's a good point. And also that's the point of this tech: there is no censorship. Once stored in the blockchain there is no way of removing it. Of course, I reserve the right to not display it in the website.

Isn’t that a contradiction? If there’s information you wouldn’t feel comfortable displaying on your website, why is it OK to etch it permanently on a blockchain?

The Blockchain is a tool, and like every tool, it can be used for the good or bad. Unfortunately it can not be controlled. If someone wants to use this tech for spreading lies, then even if my smart contract prevented it, nothing would prevent this bad actor from using another smart contract or creating his own to spread lies.
